For years, a case in the San Francisco Bay Area refuses to close, and the men chasing it let the search take over their lives. Zodiac, directed by David Fincher, tells the true story of that investigation.
What is Zodiac about?
A figure who calls himself Zodiac terrorizes the Bay Area with taunting letters and ciphers sent directly to the police and the press, daring anyone to catch him. Among those drawn in is Robert Graysmith, a cartoonist at the San Francisco Chronicle who becomes an amateur investigator chasing the same trail as detectives and reporters around him. As years pass and the case refuses to resolve, the hunt for whoever is behind the letters becomes less a job than an obsession, reshaping the careers and relationships of everyone still following it.
About the cast
Jake Gyllenhaal plays Robert Graysmith, the cartoonist turned amateur investigator at the center of the story. Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Edwards, Brian Cox, John Carroll Lynch, Richmond Arquette and Bob Stephenson complete a cast spread across newsrooms, police departments and the Bay Area itself.
Context & significance
Running close to three hours, Zodiac is a 2007 American production directed by David Fincher, catalogued across crime, drama, mystery and thriller. It follows the case across the years it stayed open, from the first letters through the long process of trying to make the pieces fit.
